Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in constructing nitrogen-containing heterocycles. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for building blocks in drug discovery programs, especially in the preparation of pyridine-based derivatives with potential anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its reactivity and ability to form stable derivatives.
